Good selection and prices. Helpful professional staff
Bankers hours, but it's a local place I can buy electronics components, tools, and equipment I need to do repairs, hobbiest, and professional work. And have good heat-shrink tubing. Especially as an automotive technician.
Stocked up and had what i needed. (Thermal fuse) Happiness. And saved me $190 vs replacing an entire component on my auto's variable speed blower circuit for my heating and ac on my dodge van
I'm so glad someplace like this exists, so I don't have to order online if I need one thing. With Radio Shack out of business, it's obvious how important it is to support your local merchants!
Honestly, I can't really imagine anything not being in this store. Sometimes they run out of certain parts, but it's no biggie to find them in other places if you know where to look.
On many occasions, the staff has been helpful in finding what I need. I tend to arrive about 15 minutes before closing, and they have been polite about letting me finish my business before they close up. I'd recommend giving yourself a good 30 minutes' time to figure out where everything is and find what you're looking for if you have more than a dozen items you're looking for. Don't expect the staff to behave like the uniformed, corporate-trained "associates" you'll meet in other places (who often don't really know much apart from how to help you look for stuff). The staff know the products and are very efficient. They'll also help you with comparisons between other manufacturers' part numbers—they sell a ton of NTE components with product numbers that cross over to more well-known numbers from other manufacturers.
Has lots of good stuff and things that other stores don't. Nice little hidden gem on Menaul.
For a guitar pedal circuit project, I did a price comparison between EPC and a US-based online supplier (in Brooklyn) who specializes in parts bundles for pedals. Electronics Parts Co. was directly comparable, and I think the quality of the parts might be better than what I would have received if I'd gone with a kit. I like to see the product up close and check for quality before I buy.
I've visited this shop a few times over the last month to purchase supplies to go with a book called Make: Electronics, by Charles Platt. Electronics Parts Co has all the supplies specified in the book (which is just a starter), and the shop is laid out logically so that it's easy to find what you're looking for.
